Guys, for some reason I can't use apps like Applock and Bluelight filter on this phone. They will work initially but the phone seemingly shuts them down soon after. This is so frustrating. I've gone through the settings trying different things none works.
I ticked the apps On in Accessibility but it keeps changing them back to Off.

Ugoeze2016:
Straight to the point, smartphones have redefined almost every aspect of our lives. Easy communication, addictive gaming, super fast internet connection, attractive user interface, file sharing, and more have been utilized like never before. Sometimes, you wonder how the world coped without mobile technology. Even older people cannot imagine how life was before the advent of the apps and various social media platforms we all benefit from today.

In Nigeria, more than 4 million mobile phones are sold in a month. Smartphones are coming with new features everyday in such a way that new ones are bound to hold more utility than previous ones. With the array of mobiles online, how do you pick one that suits you? What should you consider when buying a smartphone? We have taken an in-depth look at this topic and hereby present you with the eight most important tips.

We’ll be straight, no beating round the bush

1. Cost

Purchasing a mobile phone isn’t entirely different from any other purchase you make. The most important thing is to have a budget and ensure that you do not go over the top to buy a pocket device. Even though the benefits derived from a smartphone are huge, sometimes people would even evaluate you using your handheld device as the only criterion. Yet, we do not recommend that you sacrifice huge sums to buy a phone. Therefore, it is important that you create a budget in mind. You may eventually go a few thousands of naira above or below your initial budget, just ensure the phone is worth the extra fee.

2. Operating System (OS)

Ever since computers became ubiquitous, software has championed the tech industry and such will continue. When you hold a smartphone, what you see is a beautiful design and the beautiful interface. But, what brings most of the functions to life is the OS.

There are two major OS in the industry today (Microsoft have openly decided not to produce any Windows OS phone, at least for now). The choice is between Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. They both have numerous apps on their stores. But, the two platforms are different in operation. Android is used and modified by mobile technology giants such as HTC, Samsung, et cetera; while iOS is limited to just Apple iPhone series. Each Android manufacturer tweaks the OS. As such, Tecno Android 8 and LG Android 8 won’t look the same. You should always look for the phone that promises upgrade to the latest OS versions.

3. Hardware

Software and hardware work together to give you a beautiful experience. Some of the things you should look out for are the RAM, ROM and processor. 1GB RAM is okay, but not good enough if the phone will be your main device. The least we recommend is 2GB. Your ROM size should be dependent on your media and app needs. If you’re the type who downloads a lot of movies, games, and apps, we recommend at least a 16GB or 32 GB. The processor is the unit that connects your hardware and software. Most phones come with great processors. However, you should note that Snapdragon is the epitome of the mobile processor class

4. Camera

You can’t push aside the influence of capturing quality pictures and videos. In this social media dominance, everyone wants to look good even if it’s on screen. Yes, there are many apps you can use to edit pictures. However, the apps are optimised when the original picture is top quality. Also, you don’t want to start editing all the pictures on your phone. That’s a huge task. So, the best is to have a quality phone camera.

Note this, 5MP or 20MP does not translate into quality camera. Mega Pixels only describe the stretch of your camera, not the quality. Haven’t you seen two phones with similar MP but different quality? The difference is PPI (pixel per intensity). 264ppi is considered somewhat average. Samsung Galaxy have over 400 PPI. To get some real quality, get something close to 300 or more.

5. Battery

The battery capacity would have come above the camera quality because of the state of electricity in Nigeria. However, we know Nigerians still prioritize great selfies above battery – power banks are able standby. We won’t tell you to get a certain mAh of battery capacity. Check the product listing, the manufacturer battery life might not be the exact thing you will get, but it will be very close. HTC phones do not come with massive mAh. iPhone X will have less than 3,000 mAh. But these phones still offer great battery life. While Infinix and Gionee offer 4,000+ mAh. It’s about you. Just know what’s good for you.

6. Screen Size and Resolution

The size of your phone will largely determine the ease of use. People with smaller palms will find it difficult operating a 6 inch phone which isn’t a big deal for those with bigger palms. Your preference should determine this, not trend.

Screen quality is also very important. HD, AMOLED, FHD, Gorilla, etc. are now being deployed by various manufacturers. You would still need a good screen resolution to derive the most benefits from your phone. Video quality will be enhanced with a minimum screen resolution of 1920X1080. 


7. Brand

The mobile phone market is filled with many players with an abundance of substandard manufacturers. While we are not saying you should stick to a brand, it is better not to patronize a brand that isn’t yet a big player, or a manufacturer noted for ill-quality products. Don’t lose money, time, phone, and possibly documents.

8. Connectivity and Bonus

4G LTE is here to stay. Goodbye to 3G. 4G saves you time and download worries. Buying a 3G phone isn’t bad. It’s just that a 4G device is better. You won’t experience network lag like you would using a 3G smartphone.

Even mid-range phones are offering fingerprint scanners. This kind of bonus is vital in the way you can easily unlock your phone and apps, snap pictures and receive calls. Other bonuses include face detection, water resistance, and wireless charging. These features are no more futuristic, they are now in vogue, and you should utilize them.

Conclusion

You have read it. The most important things you should consider when buying a smartphone. With the above tips, you should get a wonderful phone irrespective of the numerous ill-quality mobile devices in the market today. Did we tick all the box? Or you want to suggest a tip we missed? We’d be glad to read your comments.

PPI stands for Pixels Per Inch and has nothing to do with camera but the phone's screen. Pixels per intensity ke.

And this man will be preaching in the church, telling lies as if he is the most righteous man on earth. Now the truth is all out

Where is this truth you are talking about?

NwaAmaikpe:



While reading this thread,

Bear it in mind that most of this man's critics are guilty of same or even worse...only they've not been caught.


People are so critical;
Lots of crimes are committed out of fear for hypocrites, maybe this man was scared of people gossioing about him patronizing prôstitutes so he decided to think inside the box.


Back to the story,
There's a famous Ohafia proverb that says, "Conji makes the preek go deaf, blind and dumb"

I know you're just an unrepentant troll who does it for the comments and controversy but sometimes, just to preserve the tiny sliver of decency that may be lurking somewhere inside you, just jump and pass some topics.

what is so special about this 1xbet?

Are you all tired of giving your money to alabi that you want to start dashing the south africans again?

If you don't understand something, why don't you quiet down and ask politely?

eunisam:
Betdey is not new. I win from them at least every two weeks. I even won last night. 4k

Seems you can only deposit via bank transfer. What's up with that? In 2017?
Edit: Found out that's only in Old Mobile

Webleonaides:
Sometimes i laugh whenever people keep asking for business ideas. its all around you, business ideas spring up whenever there is a problem and then you provide the solution. my dear sister there is no rush, relax you will find your niche!

This is a cliche. I've seen lots of people start up businesses from ideas they got on here. There are lots of problems you can provide a solution to around you that are either not viable as good businesses or are saturated with other problem solvers.
Absolutely nothing wrong with asking for ideas as it can open you up to things you would probably never consider on your own.

[quote author=prince57 post=61235691][/quote]You bet the 1k bonus a total of 10 times. That translates to the 10k you saw there. Each of the bets must be 3 odds and above. Capish?

Lol. None of these cars are even in the old picture of his car fleet. Why will one man have 3 Bougattis abeg?

Deposit the minimum via bitcoin, play 1.01 odds and then withdraw everything via bitcoin. QED.

StrafordSTONES:

This happens every time I deposit with lionsbet via webpay. Just keep it in mind to deposit at least 35 mins before you're ready to play and it's no biggy.

gozzlin:
How does this girl make the money she uses to live the seeming life of opulence she flaunts on social media? She wears designers clothes, rides expensive cars, spends holidays in USA, etc.

Is it the few roles she gets in crappy nollywood that doesn't pay its actors well or what? As far as I can tell she hasn't signed any endorsement deal. So how does she generate such money?


I just hope she hasn't taken to using her vagina to get what she wants like the older actresses do.

Nigerians! I hope God delivers you from this mentality someday. Have you considered the possibility that she has wealthy parents? You jumped from poor pay and no endorsement deals right into naming her a prostitute.

Riight. Oga woke.

Okuda:
to be honest, I do not envy any Nigerian looking and doing good anymore. 98 percent of them are money ritualists. with the rate at which young boys of Less than 30 now are being caught in rituals, its pure alarming. anybody you doubt his source of income is definitely into something shady! Take my word to the bank!

So you mean 98% of all successful Nigerians are ritualists? Wa to the motherf*cking Wu! Oh well, if that helps you sleep better at night.

Hmm. I can see absolutely no correlation between high heel shoes and everything he mentioned in that post. When I started reading I expected an intelligent explanation of how and why high heel shoes are satanic not baseless comments on how women who wear them still have divorces and get cheated on.
Funny enough, it's likely that the women who don't wear high heels and makeup get cheated on more, and with women who wear them.

This life.
So she admits the other lady was instrumental to her being what she is today but cannot resist throwing jibes. Fair enough, maybe the Ada Slim lady did this for publicity but for Tonto to say she has "ruined her chances for a meet and greet" because of a lapse in judgement and because she (Tonto) is much bigger now, not cool. At all.
You owe her more than that.

Sermwell:
You must be worst than tonto! So when the spirit of the Lord came upon saul he did everything on camera huh?! Her recording it makes this whole sh1t a gimmick!

Lol. See you up on your high horse deciding who is better or worse than other people. Saint Sermwell, with your heavenly mansion reserved for you.
You must have skipped my first paragraph in your enthusiasm to sound intelligent.

Oh well, people change. It's funny though, seeing someone speak in tongues into a phone camera and holding it steady.

For people who would be quick to mock her and bring up the past, read 1 Samuel 10:10-12. When the spirit of God came upon Saul and he began to prophesy, people were amazed and asked "Is Saul now among the prophets?"
We are always eager to judge when we are not better off.

martineverest:
my angoraphobia is xtreme

I think you mean Agoraphobia. And even a bit of that is extreme in my opinion. How do you deal with it?

Such topics as these shouldn't make front page as people who have no idea what others are facing will troop in to be silly and troll.

@op, I'm a bit of an introvert but working on it. I'd much rather stay home and read a book than go out but tbh it's not who I want to be.
